Voy a Explotar (I'm Gonna Explode)

Jesus Christ - this trailer totally killed me. There have been a lot of bad trailers around recently - must memorable for me is Forgetting Sarah Marshall which I loved and the trailer made it look so bad! I found the whole thing quite upsetting. Bad trailers lead to people seeing movies alone people cause no one who wants to go see something with a crappy looking trailer (except me of course).

There is an art to the trailer AKA theres more reaons than Meryl Streep x Alec Baldwin that everyone wants to see Its Complicated.

Anyway this film looks amazing exec produced by Diego Luna and Geal Garcia Bernal can't be a bad sign (**lalala Rudo Y Cursi never happened lalala**) and all the touches of french new wave meets mexican hotness and the use of an Interpol song that doesn't make me wanna revisit breakfast? Exciting - but is this too late in the day for MIFF or ACMI? Should I be looking to Video Dogs/Criterion once more? Le sigh.

yeah, this was definitely the only thing that looked very interesting from that festival; I probably only took notice of it because i'd read J. Hoberman's review shortly before seeing the program guide
